With Christmas just around the corner we've been talking alot about gifts that "give back". As my girls and I have talked through this quite a bit we've been looking at different gifting options that do just that. I love these earrings below!

Or these belts! Aren't they incredible?! I love the uniqueness and beauty of every single one.

I recently heard about Noonday through a client who also happens to be the woman who started the company. I love what they are doing and was pretty excited to see their booth at the Together 4 Adoption Conference I attended last weekend.

I saw this necklace in person and LOVED it! Truly unique and just beautiful.

While I was there I was also able to see the amazing pieces from the Noonday Collection. Meet one of the Noonday Ambassadors Sara who has a precious heart. She's an adoptive mama and loves Jesus. It was fun getting to know her a bit better and hearing more about Noonday. Sara loves what she does and doesn't hesitate to talk about the impact this beautiful jewelry has on the women of Uganda.

Noonday now provides jobs for women in eight different countries as a pathway out of poverty.

I love that they are all fair trade products and it is helping families stay together by providing skills and income. It doesn't get much better then that. Beautiful jewelry, belts, bags, and more all going to help keep families together.

You can read more about Noonday on their website. You can also join them on facebook for the latest! There are many different opportunities to get involved. Hosting a trunk show, becoming an ambassador, or fund raising for an adoption.Here's a few more things I love! These clutches are ADORABLE and unique!Little treasure boxes!Or patchwork journals which you can never have too many of!My new friend Sara has graciously offered to give one of my readers a $50 gift certificate to use towards any Noonday product! How cool is that?!

All you have to do is go check out their website, tell me what you'd buy with your $50 gift certificate OR let me know your favorite product by leaving a comment here and I'll draw a winner on Thursday.

I'm a big fan of Noonday Collection! I would have to choose between the Patchwork Clutch, the Beaded Statement bracelet, or the Capris bracelet. And I would probably use whatever I got as a giveaway on my blog.

Hi Erica! Oh my goodness your daughter or shall I say daughters are growing up soo fast! On the above post I have to say bravo for the boy slap! Good for her for sticking to her convictions. Sometimes those pesky boys just aren't used to hearing no-especially from such a beautiful young lady! If I were to choose something I would choose the beautiful peacock earrings. Simply Beautiful things at noonday! Have a blessed week!

Love all the products, but with my $50 gift certificate I'd purchase at least one of the patchwork journals! Beautiful!!! Who wouldn't be inspired to write in one of them... or four of them...? Thanks!

I would use the money to buy my sweet friend an item she dreams to own...the zip up wrap. I want to bless her as she is such a blessing to me by being such an encourager, a shining light to me, and always a help by taking care of my kids for my many medical appointments. Noonday products look amazing and I am looking forward to attending my first trunk show this month!

I posted on FB too...but just making sure I get counted....Wow. I'm in love with almost everything on their site, but I really love the Dangling Filigree Necklace (made in Ethiopia)...and the zip up wrap/scarf made in Peru. Beautiful stuff! Joanna

I would love the Entoto necklace. We went there in Jan. 08 when we picked up our son. I like that it's made from recycled metals from war weapons. I also like the filigree cuff bracelet and the necklace you have pictured. I can't think of the name right now. LOL
